What's Changed - Cobrowse

Glance (G) Icon: Previously, the Glance icon contained a menu with functionality such as ending the session and requesting remote assist. Now the icon is informational only, and the functionality under this menu has moved:
-
Request Remote Assist has moved to the Mouse icon on the right.
-
Enable Accessibility has moved under the Gear icon.
-
Report a Problem and the Session Code have moved under the Customer Info (person) icon.
-
End a session has moved to the red END button on the right.

Agent Video: For customers who use agent video in the browser, Glance has added the ability to select the camera from within this UI. To change the camera, click the Gear icon on the left and select the camera you want to use. The camera you select will persist between sessions. Note: You can only change cameras before the session starts, not during the session.
